Philodendron patriciae

Philodendron patriciae is a Colombian species from the Araceae family, known for exceptionally long, narrow, pendent leaves on an appressed climbing stem. Mature blades are dark green above, glossier beneath, and can become subtly undulated with age.

This epiphytic Philodendron comes from wet tropical forest in Colombia, where the short stem roots closely against a vertical surface and the leaves hang below it. In cultivation, it needs firm stem contact and open space under the foliage as the blades lengthen.

  • Leaf shape: Narrow ovate-lanceolate to elliptic blades that become long and pendent.
  • Leaf surface: Dark green and matte above, with a glossier underside.
  • Venation: Numerous lateral veins become clearer as the blade matures.
  • Growth habit: Appressed-climbing epiphyte from wet tropical forest in Colombia.
  • Indoor character: A vertical-growing species that needs height and clear hanging space.

Philodendron patriciae care for long pendent leaves

Grow Philodendron patriciae where the stem can root firmly and the leaves can hang freely. Warmth, stable moisture, high humidity and an airy root zone help new leaves expand cleanly and keep the long blades from marking or drying at the edges.

  • Support: Use a plank, pole or slab for close stem contact and clear space below the leaves.
  • Light: Bright indirect light, with protection from harsh direct sun that can bleach or dry the leaf surface.
  • Water: Water when the upper substrate begins to dry, then let the pot drain fully.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity supports smooth unfurling, especially while long new leaves are expanding.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with no cold draughts around the root zone.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure for air around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot that can hold the support securely without compressing the substrate.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix breaks down, or the support no longer sits firmly.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is steady rather than fast indoors, with the best leaf size developing under warm, humid conditions.

Philodendron patriciae pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base; avoid cutting the main stem unless propagation is planned.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem sections with at least one node and aerial-root tissue, kept warm and evenly moist.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the roots stay warm, oxygenated and never stagnant.
  • Training: Guide the rooting stem against its support early, before the pendent leaves become heavy.

Philodendron patriciae new leaves, spotting and pests

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity around active growth and keep moisture consistent.
  • Leaf spots: Improve airflow if long leaves stay wet after watering.
  • Pale marks: Move away from harsh direct sun if the leaf surface starts to bleach or dry.
  • Root issues: Check the substrate if growth slows while the pot stays wet for too long.
  • Pests: Inspect new growth, leaf undersides and petioles for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron patriciae safety and botanical background

Philodendron patriciae contains calcium oxalate crystals; keep it away from pets and children and avoid sap contact if your skin is sensitive.

The genus Philodendron was published by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst 3: 780 in 1829, with a name derived from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving.” Thomas B. Croat described Philodendron patriciae in Willdenowia 40(1): 117–118 in 2010. The epithet patriciae means “of Patricia” and honours Patricia Swope Croat.

As it matures, Philodendron patriciae becomes a distinctive climbing species with exceptionally long, narrow leaves that hang below the stem.

Good soap bags
Size: Small Size
Great soap bar bag. Later is good, fit is big but that's fine way better than being too tight or small. Great value.

It’s not your average toothpaste consistency
Flavor Name: Peppermint, Size: 5.25 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Peppermint, Size: 5.25 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My teeth have become a little sensitive recently so I started using Sensodyne. Through some research, I discovered hydroxyapatite. I was extremely excited and intrigued at the idea of its ability to strengthen tooth enamel so I just had to give it a try. I first started with Risewell, but then my dentist recommended David’s due to it having nano-hydroxyapatite. I really like this toothpaste. As you can see, it’s almost all finished. I like the flavor, I like that’s it’s fluoride free so you can swallow it, and it’s made in the USA. I’m obsessed with the packaging too! It’s got a very minimalist and modern aesthetic and it comes in a recyclable metal tube. I also love that it comes with with a little metal key to help push put all the toothpaste. I definitely felt like this toothpaste improved my teeth sensitivity as well as helped whiten my teeth. I love that it’s so convenient to order on Amazon so it ships quickly (as opposed to Risewell). If you’re not familiar with hydroxyapatite toothpastes then you may be surprised by the texture. It’s very loose and watery. It doesn’t really lather up the way toothpaste does. I feel like that’s one nuisance with using these natural toothpastes, but I would also say that the benefits of using it outweigh that. Overall, this is a solid product and I will definitely continue to use it as well as recommend it to others.
